graphics on BBC2

[[JiF]coreyric]

while playing BBC2 both online and campaign it would look like all the map symbols used in-game and a gray square would show up in front of me and obscuring my cross hairs and weapon. i dont know if its my comp or my game file is corrupted. any suggestions?

A lot of problems with BC2 have been fixed by updating the video card drivers. That can be a tough thing on a laptop though. Do you know what kind of video card it has? Also need the laptop make and model. I forget!

I have an nVidia card and my graphics issue disappeared once I updated the graphics driver.

Yep it's the graphics driver all right.
I had exactly the same problem as you with a dv8 fitted with the same card & you can't update the driver because HP won't let you. I ended up in a long protracted why can't you update your grahics driver which over 6 months out of date customer query. End of the day they said I would have to wait until they had tested the update. I just wonder which update it would be?

Still here is a link to the thread & what worked for me (with Mike's help) viewtopic.php?f=43&t=3851.

I can now update to my heart's content & thumb my nose at HP. When you get the latest drivers working the game is just so much better.

Good luck & if you need any further help come back again!
